Axel Oxenstierna Palace, Mannerist palace in Old Town, Stockholm, Sweden

The Axel Oxenstierna Palace features multiple decorative windows with Roman architectural elements and a distinctive facade aligned with Högvaktsterrassen street.

Architect Jean de la Vallée designed this palace in 1653 for Swedish Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna, and from 1668 to 1680 it served as the Swedish Central Bank.

The palace stands as a representation of 17th-century Swedish architectural development, displaying the Mannerist style prevalent during the Swedish Empire period.
